INTRODUCTION
Hello I started this blog to share some of the beautiful and creative things that can be made from recycling wood.
I intend to post pictures of some of the many beautiful things that can be made from wood that no one wants anymore.
I hope I can inspire you to initiate similar endeavors. Curb Wood Art is a registered trademark of Thomas Paul Murphy
Best of luck.

The Trough

The TroughThis is meant to be a side table to a chair. The reservoir top was designed and inspired in favor of pragmatism. How often do little parts fall of a table top and lose themselves on a dark carpet. The border created through the “carved out” center prevents this. I don’t see tables like these for sale; it follows the “If you want it done right, do it yourself” principle.The solid block of wood was reclaimed and purposed from an old bench.Symbolism of a carved our Indian canoe was well as farmland motif inspired by the way some younger girls are prone to dress today as influenced by our culture.

About Me

Welcome to my Blogs. My name is Thomas Murphy and I love the forest and wildlife areas of Wisconsin and would like to share my thoughts and the pictures I have taken of the natural areas of Wisconsin.
Come share in my collection of what I feel to some of the finest scenes and images of the forests, lakes, rivers and marshes that Wisconsin has to offer. I like to go to pristine and secluded areas where nature resides quietly and I feel the resulting “lost” images are profoundly unique.
I am usually “in the moment” when I take these pictures. When I say in the moment I mean a sense of excitement often precedes what my eye captures through the camera. I never stage these shots but seem to be in the right place and time when I shoot them.
And when I transfer them from my camera and view them on my computer screen I realize a sense of surrealism that resonates with me yet again to the time they were taken and exemplify the beauty of nature.
Please peruse my sites and experience the beauty of being there as I did.
